\nPotentially, Israel faces a Second Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, many Europeans continue Hitler\u2019s war against the Jews by supporting fifty seven Islamic apartheid nation states against the single Jewish democratic state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The worldwide media has become totally \u201cPalestinianized\u201d and Stalinized. Palestinians\u2014even the haters, terrorists, and torturers, are naught but noble, innocent victims. Israel has literally become Orwell\u2019s 1984 \u201cGoldstein,\u201d whom propagandized mobs are taught to scapegoat for their every conceivable sorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ideological assault against Israel has escalated. Daily, hourly, in every language, the media repeats Big Lies. Israel is the \u201cNazi, apartheid\u201d state, the \u201ccolonial\u201d aggressor. What a neat trick. Bloody Muslim imperialism and Islamic religious and gender apartheid are thus denied and projected onto Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel is essentially, existentially, \u201cevil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2005, Ahmadinejad said that Israel must be \u201cwiped off the map.\u201d In 2006, he said that the Middle East would be better off \u201cwithout the existence of the Zionist regime\u201d and that Israel would \u201csoon be wiped out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

President Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust, but really, he feels Hitler did not go far enough. Thus, he is taking up where Hitler left off\u2014Ahmadinejad\u2019s intention is a clearly stated genocidal one.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one is stopping him.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2014the world\u2019s civilians\u2014are now all Israelis. The same world which refused to stop the airplane hijackings and human bombs which blew up countless Israeli civilians has now inherited this whirlwind. As they say: It starts with the Jews but it never ends there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that: \u201cTo delegitimize Israel is an affront not only to Israelis but to those everywhere, in every part of humanity, who share the values of a free and independent spirit.\u201d However, while his speech, delivered in Israel, was a very warm one, Blair also seemed to suggest that Israel\u2019s best approach to combat the \u201cdelegitimization efforts\u201d was to \u201calways be a staunch and unremitting advocate and actor for peace.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, Israel, alone among nations, must earn the right to exist by being \u201cgood.\u201d If we applied this standard to Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia, they would have ceased to exist long ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Blair: Israel has always been in favor of \u201cpeace.\u201d The intransigence and solution lie elsewhere with the Palestinians, the Arab world, the Muslim world, and with the so-called \u201cinternational community\u201d which have collectively hardened their hearts against Israel. In 1975, the United Nations resolved that \u201cZionism is a form of racism\u201d and has since passed 322 resolutions condemning Israel and not one condemning any Arab country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Europeans and Americans have launched countless petitions to boycott Israel-only. Fifty Israeli and 150 American artists have just launched a performance boycott against the Israeli city Ariel. Meanwhile, they or their colleagues continue to perform in Cairo, Ramallah, Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates. Free spirited theatre people have allied themselves with the most regressive and repressive of ideologies and condemned Israel, the only country that does not honor murder women, or jail and torture dissidents, artists, or homosexuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s United States, along with the western intelligentsia, wrongly blame Israel for the peace failure; they believe that it would be \u201cracist\u201d or \u201cIslamophobic\u201d to expect the Palestinians to first accept Israel\u2019s existence as a Jewish state as a precondition for any real peace negotiation. Instead, the American media blames Israel for \u201cnot caring about peace.\u201d Human rights organizations and medical journals blame Israel only\u2014although in 2009, the founder of Human Rights Watch finally criticized his own organization for doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our theatre boycotters wish to be seen as “anti-racists;” yet, and tragically, by holding Arab and Muslim countries to much lower standards, and by condemning their inhabitants to continued Islamist barbarism, they fail every ethical test of non-racism. And, their anti-Zionism is an unacknowledged form of anti-Semitism\/racism which remains a politically correct pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Big Lies and monstrous hatred have gone global. Stand against this. Stand for the values of the Enlightenment, stand for truth over lies. Otherwise, we will all be bombed back into the Arabian 7th century, the women who survive will wear burqas, we will all be ruled by theocratic barbarians.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than the lights will go out, and not just over Europe; this time, the lights will dim over the entire world.<\/span><\/p>\n
